TOP 100 FABULOUS TV SCENES 10 -1

Well this is it - it's taken over a year to finish it which i'm sure any readers will be glad to see as it's dragged on forever and a day. Now you've probably recognised all of these scenes but hopefully it's brought some fond memories back to all of you, so here goes with my Top 10 Fabulous TV Scenes.

10 - SHARONGATE - 'Eastenders' landlady was married to Grant Mitchell who was a rough ex armed forces thug - he treated her mean but she was far more keen on his brother Phil. Sharon chatted to her best friend over a glass of wine but the conversation was being taped. Grant found the tape and during a party, he stormed in and played the tape for everyone to hear about Sharon's deceit. Phil was thrown down a pit by Grant and Sharon got slapped a fair bit - the tension during this scene was palpable!

9 - KIMBERLY RETURNS - 'Melrose Place' had Kimberly return to her husband from the dead to her lover Michael Mancini. Presumed dead she turned up at Michael's beach house frightening the shit out of him. She seduced Michael and they made nasty dirty love, Kimberly rolled off and headed to the toilet - she looked at herself in the mirror and pulled off a wig to reveal a ridiculously large scar on her head - she not only frightened Michael earlier but all the viewers.

8 - FIRE AT WENTWORTH - Trouble had been brewing for months in "Prisoner - Cell Block H". Top Dog Bea Smith was gunning for corrupt Officer Joan Ferguson. Bea lured the Freak, as she was known, to isolation for a scrap to the finish. Diversion fires were set up by Chrissie although Margo made a Molotov cocktail which caused the prison to go up in severe flames. Bea knockedThe Freak out but she came to and banged Queen Bea's head about - however - the gates closed due to the fire leaving Joan trapped but Bea had her keys and she was now unconscious. She woke up in a daze only to tell the Freak that the two of them were going to die in the fire together.

7 - ALEXIS IN JAIL - Not only had her daughter gone missing on her wedding night in a massive storm but her bodyguard had fallen to his death a few weeks earlier. Life was not good for Alexis and to top it off, the police arrived at the Carrington mansion and placed Alexis under arrest for the murder of her bodyguard. Huckled to the local jail cell, she was bedecked in jewels and a killer frock from Nolan Miller screaming her innocence to all and sundry, sundry being every hooker and tramp in town!

6 - TANYA'S MONOLOGUE - 'Footballers Wives' starts each season with Tanya chatting to the viewers. We normally see her in some sort of exotic location covered in fake tan and heavy makeup. She recaps the main points of the last episode from the season before with her own cheeky comments. If it's not a funeral she's getting ready for, she's getting ready for childbirth or just lounging about in her own fabulous style.

5 - SCOTT & CHARLENE'S WEDDING - Nothing enthralled me in my younger years than the wedding of Ramsay Street sweethearts, Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell. I was 9 or 10 and Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were the hottest couple on the hottest show. I was desperate for them to get together and finally marry which they did in a beautiful ceremony full of soft focus and mullets from Scott and his best man Mike. Charlene came down the aisle with her brother Henry to the song 'Suddenly' by Angry Anderson. I weeped and weeped with joy as Romeo and Juliet married, it still gets me every time I watch it.

4 - PAM WAKES UP - After a hit and miss season, Patrick Duffy returned from the dead in "Dallas" A year previously, Bobby was mowed down by Pam's nutty sister, Katherine Wentworth. Pam had remarried, and the Ewing clan were dealing in international intrigue with evil Anjelica Nero. So after Ewing Oil was blown up with Sue Ellen in it, the next scene had Pam stirring from her slumbers, hearing the shower start. She then walks in and opens the shower screen to have Patrick Duffy turn round with a knowing smile and say "Good Morning" No-one knew exactly what was going on including the cast - Victoria Principal found out how Patrick was returning when she watched the show with the rest of the world. Titbit - There were a few endings made, one with Bobby returning and one with Pam finding Mark Graison (her new hubby) dead in the shower. As we all know, Pam had just been dreaming Bobby died, Sue Ellen hitting rock bottom with the booze, Miss Ellie changing back to Barbara Bel Geddes, Donna losing a baby and JR being nasty with Anjelica Nero. That lady is one lazy bitch if she can sleep for a whole year!

3 - BLAKE STRANGLES ALEXIS - "Dynasty" had a few cliffhangers at the end of their 1985-86 season. Blake was in financial trouble and Alexis had bought all his holdings - including the mansion. After a party at La Mirage which, ps, was burning down, Blake and Krystle return to see their luggage at the bottom of the most amazingly grand starircase ever!! Alexis is towering above on the balcony in a cheeky white diamante ensemble and announces :-
"I now own this house - so take this junk (cue throwing Krystle's furs over the balcony) your blonde tramp (cue gesture to Krystle) - and get out of my home!!" Blake clearly enraged storms up to the balcony and starts strangling Alexis! Cut to a freezeframe of the two struggling. Fucking Fabulous!

2 - KIMBERLY BLOWS UP THE APARTMENT COMPLEX - "Melrose Place" had turned into a ratings success by the time of the 1995 cliffhanger episode. Kimberly Shaw had gone round the bend and wired the entire complex with bombs. Michael managed to knock her out in a struggle in time for him and Sydney to alert all the people in the building that the place was gonna blow. Alison had failed to stop Billy and Brooke's wedding so she was kicking up her heels with bad music and vodka and stayed in her apartment. Billy, Brooke, Amanda, Jane, Jo, Peter, Sydney, Richard, his wife and Michael were all present and accounted for when Kimberly stormed out the laundry room to gleefully smile and say "It's not what it looks like - it's worse!". She then pressed the button and the explosions began!

1 - THE MOLDAVIAN MASSACRE - "Dynasty" hit the top spot in May 1985 when they created the infamous Moldavian Massacre. Amanda Carrington had been romanced by charming Prince Michael of some tacky European country called Moldavia! The entire cast was shipped off there for the impending nuptials. However, a very Euro coup was about to take place and at the religious ceremony, armed renegades entered the chapel and gunned down the whole glamorous cast. Much screaming and slow motion falling and smashing of windows took place just after Amanda and Prince Michael were married and the whole cast were left playing dead. Bells tolled out and the camera switches to various shots of the cast - dead - supposedly! This makes Numero Uno because it was the ultimate soap scene, leaving a fabulous cliffhanger with Linda Evans, Diahann Carroll, Ali MacGraw, John Forsythe, Michael Nader, Joan Collins and the whole cast unsure as to whether their characters were dead or alive. And as for dramatic - a European country?!! Joan Collins in powder pink?!! A royal wedding?!! It doesn't get more fabulous than that!
